JOSH Hazlewood led Australia’s pace attack with figures of 4-29 as India were bowled out for 150 by tea on the opening day of the first Test in Perth on Friday. The Australian bowlers capitalised on a fragile Indian batting lineup, taking six wickets in the second session.

India’s innings saw notable contributions from debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy, who scored 41, and Rishabh Pant, who added 37. Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh, and Pat Cummins supported Hazlewood, claiming two wickets each.


India, coming off a 3-0 series loss to New Zealand, made surprising changes to their XI, leaving out experienced players like Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Sarfaraz Khan. Regular skipper Rohit Sharma missed the match following the birth of his child, and Shubman Gill was unavailable due to injury.

After winning the toss, Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah opted to bat, but the team lost early wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal departed for a duck in the third over, edging Mitchell Starc to debutant Nathan McSweeney at gully. Devdutt Padikkal, batting at number three in place of Gill, was dismissed for a duck after facing 23 balls, with Hazlewood inducing an edge to wicketkeeper Alex Carey.

Virat Kohli, under pressure to deliver a significant innings, managed just five runs before edging Hazlewood to Usman Khawaja at slip. KL Rahul contributed 26 before gloving a catch to Carey, leaving India struggling at 73-6 at lunch.

In the second session, Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar fell to Marsh, who filled the all-rounder role in the absence of Cameron Green. Pant and Reddy staged a brief recovery, with Pant hitting the match’s first six. However, the partnership ended when Pat Cummins dismissed Pant, caught by Steve Smith at slip.

Hazlewood wrapped up the innings, removing Harshit Rana and Bumrah in quick succession.

The series opener in Perth is the first of five matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with India aiming to defend the title they won during their last two tours of Australia.

Over $5,700 Daily Earnings: Bitcoin Resurgence Fuels BJMINING Cloud Mining Boom

Bitcoin has once again become the focal point of the global financial markets.

While institutions are accelerating their adoption, more individual investors are seeking safer and more stable ways to participate in the cryptocurrency wave.

Armani fashion journey

Giorgio Armani’s journey from window dresser to fashion emperor

Giorgio Armani: 10 chapters that turned a window dresser into fashion’s emperor

Highlights:

  • Armani began as a window dresser in Milan before sketching suits for Nino Cerruti.
  • In 1975, he launched his own label by selling his car, sparking a quiet fashion revolution.
  • His unstructured suits redefined power dressing for men and women in the 1980s.
  • From American Gigolo to the Oscars, Armani became Hollywood’s style signature.
  • He built a global empire yet stayed hands-on, shaping fashion until his final days at 91.

It’s strange to think Armani once stood behind a shop window, fixing mannequins instead of red carpets. He wasn’t born into Milan’s glittering salons or stitched into privilege. His journey started with burns from a war shell, with a mother who made scraps look elegant, with a young man who quit medical school because he couldn’t quite see his future in blood and bandages.

From there, he picked up fabrics, cuts, and the quiet dream of building something lasting. And against all odds, he did. You know his clothes. You’ve seen that look, the effortless drape of a jacket, the quiet confidence of a suit that doesn’t scream but whispers luxury. Giorgio Armani, who left us last year at 91, wasn’t just a designer, he rewrote how the world dresses. These ten chapters show how he carved that throne.
